Other than the Honduras goal and a couple of nice free kick attempts, this was an ugly game. The referee allowed a lot of contact from both sides, so it got very chippy. It seemed as though we had no plan--or at least none that we could follow. Honduras pressed, but it wasn't so fearsome that we had to lump it upfield at every opportunity. For long stretches, it seemed that neither team had much possession--the ball was always up for grabs. The Catrachos had more energy, or more desire, or a better idea what to do--or all three. Honestly, a US loss would not have been an unfair result.
Well, we're in good position to advance to the World Cup, but we'll have to play better than this or we could be in trouble.
